Take your guide from the Ashram people & Holymen you want to visit & blend in with,,,,,,,,,,,,
The closer you get to next to nothing the better,
Even a backpack alienates you, as does a wristwatch, boots, socks, blue jeans, money, passport, airline ticket,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Would taking a change of loin cloth make one seem just too ostentatious, Seventies?
